There are three main types of generators:
b). inverter and
Despite their differences, all these generators should undergo similar generator maintenance to ensure long-term usability, and similar safety precautions should be taken to reduce the hazards posed by their operation.
A). Portable Generator
A portable generator is powered by gas or diesel fuel and can provide temporary electrical power.
Here are some characteristics to note about these types of generators:
- Uses a combustion engine to conduct electricity.
- Can plug into electrical appliances or tools via its sockets.
- Be wired into a facility’s subpanels.
- Can be used in remote sites.
- Has enough power to run a television, freezer and refrigerator.
- The engine should run at 3600 rpm to render the standard 60hz of current.
- Use a governor to control the engine’s speed.
- Can power tools and lights.
B). Inverter Generator
An inverter generator uses an engine connected to an alternator to produce AC power. It also uses a rectifier unlike other generators to convert the AC power into DC power.
Here are some characteristics to note about these types of generators:
- Relies on high-tech magnets.
- Uses advanced electronic circuitry.
- Undergoes three phases to produce electricity.
- Outputs AC current, convert it to DC current and finally invert it to AC.
- Maintains a constant flowing of current to an appliance.
- Is more energy-efficient, as the engine speed adjusts itself according to how much power is needed.
- Its AC can be set to any voltage and frequency when used with proper equipment.
- Tends to be little and lightweight.
- Can fit into a car, RV or boat.
C). Standby Generator
A standby generator is an electrical system that operates with an automatic transfer switch that commands it to power a device up during power loss.
Here are some characteristics to note about these types of generators:
- Operates automatically.
- Delivers permanent power protection.
- Has two components: a standby generator and an automatic transfer switch.
- Can operate on liquid propane or natural gas.
- Will run on the fuel type already in use in the facility or home.
- Uses an internal combustion engine.
- Senses the power loss within seconds and boots up electricity so that power loss is felt very briefly.
- Executes automatic weekly self-tests to see that it is properly reacting to a power loss.
- Is constantly monitoring utility power.
- Used in safety systems for elevators, standby lighting, medical and life support equipment and fire protection systems.
